Diane Morrow is a former physician who for the past several years has worked as a high school English teacher in North Carolina. Along with teaching writing to high school sophomores and juniors, she’s taught writing to recovering addicts, and to a wide range of men and women facing chronic illness, including cancer, depression, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. She began a website, One Year of Writing and Healing, in 2006 (writingandhealing.org) which has now grown into a considerably more comprehensive and reflective book. She’s grateful to all who have contributed to this work, in a myriad of ways.
